Fritz 19 Changelog

[fishpov]

Hi
You're right !
This is a strange bug.
It perfectly works with my Fritz 11 and 14 GUI but not with Fritz 16 GUI !

What I see for Fritz 16 GUI is :
Options -> Tablebases -> Edit Button
For Nalimov GUI : let 512 as Cache but just check Load at program start
Restart Fritz 16
And bug disappear !

The only bug I'm seeing (and have reported) is in the recent Chessbase 17 update. When I use Tactical Analysis on a game - it crashes...be in Fritz 19, SF, SF Developmental. I might try it within the Fritz 19 GUI later today.

Is it just me or after update 12 in Fritz 19 the easy game playing with personalities stops working after an out of book move ?!

Hi
I have found the same issue. Just updated from DVD version up to version 13 (all at once) and the personalities don't respond out of book. Any help with this ? anyone had the same issues ? I have contacted chessbase, will they respond?

So far Fritz 19 has been a disappointment. I still prefer Fritz 12 which was my last Fritz.
Sometimes its the little issues, For instance the personalities, presumably it is supposed to simulate a Human player, But they don't think to ensure that the personalities have realistic thinking times, Instead the personalities react immediately, You play a serios OTC game and people tend to think !! The personality mode seems to be a combination of the old 'sparring and Handicapped and fun mode' and in those modes you could basically play with realistic response times or have the program play straight away. Now those options have gone apparently?

Anyway has anyone had issues with personalities not working after update?

In case this is useful to anyone. I contacted chessbase as I was having the same issue. They sent me a new version of the runtime libraries from Microsoft, after installing it solved the problem
